Bluetooth, a must have for me.

Bluetooth was one of those technologies that I found interesting, but I didn't see myself using much. Now, I really have become a heavy user of the technology. I use it from headphones, to my main mouse and keyboard.

I stated using Bluetooth with headphones with my smartphone, and not having to worry about a wire made the experience a whole lot more convenient. And when I started using them with my laptop, the whole experience became even better since I wasn't tied down to being close to it to keep listening to my music or podcast.

At work became even more liberating, since I have to constantly stand up to pick documents at the printer or do things out of my desk. Not having to take off my headphones every time I stand up from my desk is a nice thing to be able to do.

I did use a wireless mouse, using a USB interface for a long time, but moving to Bluetooth liberated a USB port, which on modern laptop is great since USB ports are not that many on them.

Next came the keyboard, which a wireless one is a nice thing to have since I use a laptop stand. And since I prefer to not use a USB port when I don't have to do so, a Bluetooth keyboard is the best option for me.

If you can afford a Bluetooth version of the devices you use the most, you should go for it if you don't want to deal with cables.
